I often wonder how all the most intelligent people in the world who apparently know how all about Covid, all about climate change, know how to fix the health service and know what the government should do to cure all the country's ills seem to have time to phone into the local radio station's phone in show.

You'd think such intelligent people would be working in really important jobs and be super busy all the time. 🤔

Morning.
It is starting to get a bit blowy and spitting with rain .
Checked the fluid levels in our cars and found one to be low on coolant . Topped it up . It tends to go down a bit but this was low .

Apparently, we need to go to the shops..

I might be some time 🙄

Managed to avoid the worst of the weather getting to work. Not looking forward to the journey home

It's starting to get a bit wild outside now. Just been out with a screwdriver and a couple of screws to 'fix' some wood down better.

The disk brakes on my bike are embarrassingly loud in the wet.

Saves using the bell.

I can most definitely confirm this

Nasty here as well. Went with the dog to visit my mother & while the LFT was brewing we went for a short walk. There's a nursery not far away & Cassie was interested to see the children outside, all dressed up in warm coats.

Currently destressing.

Parental sorted, a late lunch sorted and the laundry put away.

Blue wheelie bin is out for collection - with a Christmas Box attached for the fellas on the recycling van.

Did the quack pass?

Our black bin is out, don't feel inclined to check if it's been emptied. I may have a snooze.

Wet and windy.
Been having an adventurous time, or mebbe just confusing.
I have an optician appointment in Oban on Tuesday so planned to travel over on Monday. The only ferry I could get booked on was likely to be cancelled so a fast scramble and got booked on the 1715 on Sunday instead.
15 miles down the road and another text from Calmac. "Number 1 linkspan is not working so as a result" but then they stop and say nothing more. Continue anyway and find that the following boat will be passenger only.
Monday morning the 0645 cannot load in Oban as the tide is too high followed by "we cannot run the 1515 from Craignure as we have no boat available and in any case all boats will probably be cancelled for the rest of the day anyway".
Get an email from Specsavers giving me a different appointment time so phone to check. "We have no idea why you got this email as your appointment time has not changed".
Am I going mad or is the world just getting in a fankle?

The world has gone mad, you're fine.

I watched the highlights of yesterdays F1 in a sandy place with oil.
Not being a regular viewer, is the a bit of a niggle going on between a couple of the drivers? I may be wrong, though..

I've never yet rung a local radio station.
